   Service providers and enterprises are increasingly offering services
   and applications from data centers. Subsequently, data centers
   originate significant amount of network traffic. Without proper
   network provisioning, user applications and services are subject to
   congestion and delay.

   In this document, we argue the necessity in providing network
   information to the applications, and thereby enabling the
   applications to directly provision network edge devices and relevant
   applications.
